pakistan today is an army with a country, not a country with an army. we have to start dealing with them, i think, in that context. we have to lay out benchmarks. i have been very reluctant to do this in the past having congress lay out the benchmarks. i don't see any other way that we are going to continue a working relationship if we don't lay out some benchmarks for pakistan. i think the support is important. they're a nuclear country. they're one of the few, as a matter of fact, maybe the only growing nuclear state in the world which is concerning enough. but they also have this huge terrorism problem within their own country. they have all of these dynamics so we have to be there. we're going to have to continue to work with them. they do help us in some ways. but this is incredibly concerning when they continue to have these problems with helping bad guys. the i.e.d. factor that was reported in the press is a great example. these arrests around the neighborhood in abadabad very, very concerning. it just concerns the wrong message. >> schieffer: i

what pakistan chooses to do and what happens in pakistan in fact can have more to do with determining the course of events in afghanistan than almost any other single thing. if out of this osama bin laden event pakistan now decides to really engage in a very different strategic relationship, if they go after the fatah, if they were to say we're expelling all foreign nationals who are here illegally, if they have a different i.s.i.-relationship with us, if they were to move to engage in a different kind of cooperative effort on the ground, that could significantly-- and i do mean significantly-- change the dynamic with the taliban, the possibilities of reconciliation, the possibilities of negotiation, and ultimately the numbers of troops that are in afghanistan. remember, no military leader of ours-- and i think no civilian person has said there is anything but a non-military solution to afghanistan. we have to have a political solution. >> schieffer: all right. >> and i think we have a better chance of getting that now. >> schieffer: senator, thank you so much. good luck on that missi

(applause) in pakistan, al qaeda's leadership is under more pressure than at any point since 2001. their leaders and operatives are being removed from the battlefield. their safe havens are shrinking and we've sent a message from the afghan boarder to the arabian peninsula to all parts of the globe. we will not relent, we will not waiver, and we will defeat you. (applause) american leadership can also be seen in the effort to secure the worst weapons of war because republicans and democrats approved the new start treaty, far few fewer nuclear weapons and launchers will be deployed. because we rallied the world, nuclear materials are being locked down on every continent so they never fall into the hands of terrorists. because of a diplomatic effort to insist that iran meet its obligations, the iranian government now faces tougher sanctions, tighter sanctions than ever before. and on the korean peninsula we stand with our ally south korea and insist that north korea keeps its commitment to abandon nuclear weapons.
